I can't help but hear Huey Lewis singing in my head when I write that, and it makes me smile because that is not the kind of love I'm writing about. Don't get me wrong...I want to be loved by the people in my life as much as anyone...and I am so grateful to be surrounded by people who love me. But, human love is conditional, selfish, and filled with expectations...at least mine is. The Bible says "God is love" and His love is unconditional, unselfish, and perfect.
God loves us so much, that He sent His only Son to die a torturous death for us...and then be raised to life! If that's not true love, I don't know what is. A perfect God gives the best gift of love to have eternal relationship with imperfect people. Absolutely overwhelming! He loves me the same all the time...even when I mess up! He gives me more than enough love...enough to share. It isn't about me; it's about giving Jesus' love to others.
I'm learning how to love. I'm learning how to love people the way they need to be loved...God's way. I'm learning to be dependent on God's love and blessed by people love! Divine love is changing my life from the inside out...that's the power of love!
